• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    VSS Fault, Check DPS, Limp Home Mode

    The other morning, I went out to the garage and turned on my Spyder (2008 SE5 40.235 miles). Put in the key, turned her on, and kitted out to ride. I look down and have a VSS Fault, Check DPS, and Limp Home Mode. I had ridden the night before with no problems. Get it to the shop. Dealer...

    Rear Fender Vibration = Vanishing License Plate

    When I lost the first one, I thought that since all the hardware was missing, that it was license plate/inspection sticker theft. Next, one day I noticed the license plate light unit missing. I replaced it. Then, I lost a second license plate. Now, I thought it was caused by the inspection...

    Conclusion To All, First, I love my Spyder. I love riding. I just wish the dealers were a little more concerned about making a customer happy. I just wish Can-Am was a little more active in making things right. It seems that most motorcycle mechanics I have met are intimidated by the...

    FINISHED? Finally. After being told it would be ready last Friday and on Friday being told it would be ready Wednesday, I received the call today that it was ready for pickup at 5:00 PM. Understand, that the dealer closes at 6:00 and is in a part of DFW that is impossible to get to in an hour...

    Treat others the way you want to be treated? I have. They haven't. It's been three freaking months at this point. Communicate? They don't seem to know what the word means. The only times Can AM or the Dealers talked to me was when I called them or stopped by their location. It's not right...

    Bad news Can-Am called me to say that unless I withdraw my legal letter they will no longer talk to me except through their lawyers. The dealer has told me that now they will get to my cycle when they can and to expect it no sooner than the middle of next week. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Foxtrot...

    SOLVED Soon after receipt of the letter, both Can-Am and the dealer solved the issue. Can-Am directed the dealer to replace the entire engine/drive package. I am told it will be ready for pick up by the end of the week.

    Rattle when letting off throttle

    Problem Fixed Well, Can-Am found the problem. A spindle shaft in the engine. At higher rpm or under load it either centered (high rpm) or under load would engage fully. Solution - they are replacing the entire engine/drive package.

    Further difficulty I called Can AM. They told me the rep for my trouble file is unavailable, but that they had spoken to the dealer and some parts have been ordered. Still no word on when it might be done. No word on what they intend to do to make things right. They got huffy when I...

    Poor Service Poor CanAm response

    I have been having a problem with my transmission for nearly 8 weeks. I have had my Spyder at three different dealers in the area to try and get it fixed. The first dealer said they couldn't get to it. The second waited 4 weeks for a lift before they looked at the rear wheel, claimed the first...

    Rattle when letting off throttle

    2008 SE 24k miles My Spyder has developed a rattling noise when I let off of the gas. I searched the forums and do not see anything similar. The mechanic at the dealer I use has no idea what could be causing it, and cannot discern where it originates. He put the machine up on a stand to allow...
